his claying of his sweetheart, Florence
Bentley, at Downers drove, three miles
from here, last Saturday, was accidental,
Jumped In front of a moving train hero
early today and was killed.
It whs his fourth attempt at suicide,
in a note found on his person he de-
' clared ho took drugs twice In an effort
to die beside the body of his sweetheart.
i jt both times failed,
lie next Jumped Into a quarry pit, but
i he lit In the stagnant water and "I
j couldn't sink," said the note.
The clothing on his body was wet when
taken from the tracks.
The note said Miss Bentley was killed
when he tried to kiss her. She screamed
and he placed his hand on her throat.
"Sho became quiet all of a sudden," said
the note.
In remorse and fear he sat beside her
for some time seeking to find a spark of
11 fo remaining In her. Finally he gave
up hope and went to Aurora, whero he
purchased an anaesthetic. He returned
and, prostrating himself beside the girl's
body, swallowed It.
After a whllo he woke up. The girl
still lay very quiet beside him. Again he
made the trip to Aurora, says the note,
and again returned with poison to die
beside the girl he had slain. This at
tempt also was a failure. Then he wan
dered for hours through the woods, before
Jumping In front of the train.

A statement in the young man's pocket
corroborated, according to the report, the
disjointed explanation of the killing of
Miss Florence Bentley, which Bahr gave
to two boys last night.
In the note Barr declared that Miss
Bentley's death was an accident and that
he nnver thought of such a thing as dolog
her any wrong. When he found that she
was killed he was overcome by grift and
fright.
This Is in accordance with the state
ment attributed to Barr by two boys
who were among those searching for him
last night. The boys, Mttvln Binder and
Guy Stmonson, said that Barr suddenly
peered out at them from some bushes.
He told them brokenly, they said, that he
had attempted to put his arm around
Miss Bentley and that In a playful strug
gle her neck was broken. The boys
tried to detain Barr, but he fled. Phy
sicians who examined the body said tho
neck was not broken.
The death of Miss Bentley took place
Saturday night. The body was found
yesterday. Meantime search was made
for her and Barr, who had started home
with her from the home of Barr's aunt
Saturday night.

Author and Social Worker Dies
After Long Illness,
SPENDS LIFE SLUM FIGHTING
Mnnr Important tlrfornm In Tene

Due to Ills Kffnrt Writes
Scvcrnl Honk.
BARRR. Mass., May 2i.Jacoh A. nils,
author and social worker, died at his
summer home here todayt after a long
Illness.
Mrs. Rlls and a son were nt Mr. Bits'
bedside when the end came.
Mr. Rlls was brought here about iwo
weeks ago from a sanitarium at Battle
Creek, Mich., where ho had been a pa
tient tor several months, taking treat
ment for heart trouble of long standing,
Jacob August Rlls became, through his
work In behalf of the poorer people In
New York, "tha most useful cltlien" of
tho metropolis, according to a tribute
once paid to him by Theodore Roosevelt,
his Intimate friend,
Rlls was tho thirteenth child of s Latin
teacher In Rlbe, Jutland, Denmark.
Ho was born in 1549. Protesting at the
literary career which his father had cut
out for him, young Rlls decided to work
with his hands and bocamo a carpenter's
apprentice. Tho vocation he had chosen
did not prevent him, however, from
falling In love with Elizabeth Nletson,
daughter of one of the richest men In
his native town. But she refused him,
and when RUs was 21 years old, having
learnd his trado, he embarked for New
York with only $40 in his pocket
Rlls led a varied career during the fol
lowing six years. Ho built miners' huts
In a Pennsylvania construction camp,
mined coal, made bricks, drove a team
and peddled flat Irons and books. At 27,
he accepted a beginner's place as a ro
porter for a New York news bureau. At
the very first ho made his most con
spicuous success In tho study of conditions
of the East Side of New York.
Ilnya Newspaper with Note.
With only J7S capital and notes for J675,
he succeeded In buying the "South Brook
lyn News," which was on the verge of
bankruptcy, and made such a success with
th property that ho was able to sell It
at a considerable profit a few years later.
He returned to Denmark and married the
girl who had refused him flhen ho was a
arpentcr's apprentice, This first wife died
In 1903, and two years later Rlls married
Mary Phillip of St. Louis.
As a reporter on tho New York Tribune
and later on the Now York Sun, Rlls took
up his real work In slum fighting. Whllo
attending to routing duty as a police re
porter, he worked day and night to arouse
tho popular need of Improved living con
ditions. One of tho first of his cam
paigns was against the Impurity of tho
city water, and it was his fight which
finally led to the purchase of tho Croton
watershed to assure safe drinking water
for New York.
Mcc.tn Theodore Itooscvclt.
Theadore Roosevelt wbb pollco commis
sioner of New York when Rlls attacked
tho evils of pollco lodging houses. He
won his point, and Incidentally, a strong
ally In Mr. Roosevelt.

a literally millers succession of rapids
and cataracts. For forty-eight days we
saw no human being. In passing these
rapids we lost fove of the seven canoes
with which we started and had to build
others. Ono of our best men lost his life
In tho rapids. Under the strain one of
the men went completely mad, shirked all
his work, stole his comrades food and
when punished by the sergeant he, with
cold-blooded deliberation murdered the
sergeant and fled Into the wilderness.

We embarked on it at about 12 degrees t
